Skeleton Key submitted by abjobst on August 26, 2008, 9:28am It's nerve racking wondering what will happen next. Your mom will probably yell at you for keeping you face buried in this book but it's worth it.

Great Read submitted by tree64 on July 15, 2011, 5:06pm Though the cover may look like its scary, I think this is a good book. Alex is captured by a madman who wants him to be his son. This was a great read for me.

Amazing submitted by pubudu on July 18, 2011, 10:21am Simply amazing book. This book once again trails our young teenage spy, Alex Rider, in an effort to escape from the clutches of General Alexei Sarov, who wants to adopt Alex as his own son.

Awesome submitted by Memoria1224 on July 31, 2011, 2:11pm This is a really fantastic book!

Great book, very gripping and fast paced submitted by jkl on August 11, 2011, 4:29pm This is a great book, one that you won't be able to put down. Alex comes through again but the twists and turns in this book are endless. The madman scheme continues and even brings nuclear weapons into the equation. You'll be on the edge of your seat until the very last pages of this book! What a thriller!

Wow submitted by xjasx on June 16, 2012, 10:59pm This is a great book, one that you cant to put down. Alex comes through again but the twists and turns in this book are endless. The madman scheme continues and even brings nuclear weapons into the equation which makes it ten times better. Of course the chinese mafia make it better aswell..
